When I save data to an existing data file, I use this code:

  set the customproperties["allDataProps"] of stack whichFile \
      to the customproperties["allDataProps"] of stack "dataTemplate"
  save stack whichFile
  close stack whichFile  --the destroystack of stack whichFile is true

In the big complex app that I have been working on, I do have a workaround. I simply repeat this line twice:
set the customproperties["allDataProps"] of stack whichFile \
      to the customproperties["allDataProps"] of stack "dataTemplate"

I have no idea why the workaround works. One source of distress to me is that the workaround DOES NOT work in the demonstration stack.

I haven't had any problems with custom properties, so it's hard to say. Is the short name of your template stack the same as the short name of the data stack that was cloned? If so, the engine may be confused about which stack it should be putting the data into. If you aren't already doing it, name your data stack something different from the template.
